Raindrops Keep Falling

It is a mud puddle kind of day. The grass is soggy, the back porch is drenched, and the driveway is muddy. The girls took umbrellas to school and the boys wore boots out to the bus stop. Too bad boots don't keep pant legs from getting wet and muddy... Ah, well, good thing for washing machines.

I know that we have had too much rain. The farmers are struggling and will continue to struggle with their crops. People complain about the Rochester weather and threaten to move, but there is so much to be grateful for...

(See yesterday's post)#726 Afternoon nap listening to rain fall on the roof (I love sleeping when its raining.)#727 A husband and daughter willing to go out for a few groceries on a wet and windy day

Today we are playing in the house. No chasing small children away from the road or out of the flower gardens. No dog poop on the bottom of shoes. Life's not too bad.

Thanks for this post. Yes, there is SO much to be thankful for, even when we have had way too much rain. Our basements aren't flooded and our houses aren't under water, and we are warm. I have decided to use this day to get much accomplished here. I will also be making a quick trip to the grocery store for some fruit, and some makings for potato soup for dinner.

Here I am

I am a work in the hands of the Master Potter. I pray that His fingerprints are all over me as I walk through this life. This is my journey. Thank you, Jesus, for not giving up on me.
